Classification of Milling Machines2
MILLING Milling is another basic machining process by which surface is generated progressively by the removal of chips from a work piece as it is fed against a rotating cutter.
Milling operations can be classified into two broad categories1. Peripheral Milling2. Face Milling
3
Peripheral Milling 4
Peripheral MillingOperation performed by milling cutter to produce a machined surface parallel to axis of rotation of cutter
Cutting force is not uniform throughout the length of the cut by each tooth
Quality of surface generated and shape of the chip formed depends upon the rotation of cutter relative to direction of feed movement
It can be either UP milling or DOWN milling
5
5
Up millingAlso called conventional milling,- Wheel rotation opposite of the feed- The chip formed by each cutter tooth starts out very thin and increases its thickness- The length of the chip is relatively longer- Tool life is relatively shorter- Need more clamping force to hold the work part still.
6
Down milling:
Also called climb milling,- Wheel rotation is parallel to the feed- The chip formed by each cutter tooth starts out thick and leaves out thin- The length of the chip is relatively short- Tool life is relatively longer- Need less clamping force to hold the work part still.7
Face Milling
8
Face MillingThe generated surface is at right angles to the cutter axis
It is the combined result of actions of the portions of the teeth located on both periphery and the face of the cutter
Most of the cutting is done by the peripheral portions of the teeth, with the face portions provides the surface finish.

MILLING MACHINES10
Milling MachinesThe milling machine supplies an accurate rotating spindle for the cutter and a table (vise) to fix and position the work part.
Types of Milling Machines are -:
Column & Knee Type Fixed Bed Type Planer Type Special Type
11
Column & Knee Milling Machine12
General purpose
Column, spindle, cutter, table, knee, base are the common parts of the vertical and horizontal milling machines
The milling machines having only the three mutually perpendicular table motions (x-y-z axes) are called plain column and knee type
Vertical type is especially well suited for face and end milling operations
Horizontal Milling Machine13
In horizontal, arbor supports the cutter and an over arm supports arbor
The vertical column houses the electrical, main drive, spindles etc mounted on a heavy base
14Universal Milling Machine Has a table that can be rotated in a horizontal plane to any specified angle
Bed Type Milling Machine15
Milling Operations
16
1. Plain Milling(Slab Milling)
Operation of production of plane flat surface parallel to axis of rotation of plain milling cutter
Cutter width extends beyond the work piece on both sides
17
2. Face Milling
The face milling cutter is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the work surface
18
19More Examples on Face Milling
3. End Milling
Combination of peripheral and face millingCutter has teeth both on end face and peripheryVertical milling machine is most suitable for end milling operation
20
4. Side Milling
Operation of production of flat vertical surface on side of work piece by using side milling cutter
Depth of cut adjusted by rotating vertical feed screw of the table21
5. Straddle Milling
Operation of production of flat vertical surfaces on both side of the workpiece by using two side milling cutters mounted on the same arbor22
6. Angular MillingOperation of production of angular surface on a workpiece other than at right angles to the axis of milling machine spindle
23
7. Gang Milling
Operation of milling several surfaces of the workpiece simultaneously by feeding the table against a number of cutters having same or different diameters
24
8. Form Milling
It is the operation of production of irregular contours using form cuttersThe contours maybe convex, concave or any other shape
25
9. Profile Milling
It is the operation of reproduction of an outline of a template or complex shape of a master die on a workpiece
26
10.Milling Keyways, Grooves & Slots
Operation of production of keys, grooves and slots of varying shapes and size by using a plane milling cutter, a metal slitting saw, an end mill or by side milling cutter27
11. Thread Milling
Operation of production of threads by using a single or multiple thread milling cutter.It is performed in special thread milling machine to produce accurate threads
